Job 6:25

How forceful are right words! but what does your arguing prove?

Your words have upheld him that was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.

O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldens you that you answer?

How then do you comfort me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?

And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?

Also against his three friends was his wrath aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

There is one that speaks like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise brings health.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

The preacher sought to find acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
